ABSTRACT:
A game playable in an area only approximately one-fifteenth of the area of a regulation golf course, with the length of play being approximately one-fifth the length of a regulation 18-hole golf course, comprising a large ball and a set of golfing clubs having heads of large size. The ball has a small weight-to-volume ratio in that it weighs approximately 2 ounces and is approximately 5 inches in diameter, and typically is of lightweight foam construction. Each of the clubs of said set of clubs has a head having a weight very similar to that of a regulation golf club, and a face inclined at approximately the angle of the corresponding regulation golf club. Each of the faces, however, have a surface area approximately 2.8 times larger than the faces of regulation golf clubs, with the relationship between the ball and each of the clubs being such as to permit a form of play action very much like the play action of regulation golf in that a player will be able to utilize an unrestricted swing in hitting said ball and obtain a feel very similar to that received when he swings a regulation golf club and hits a regulation golf ball. Desirably, however, the ball in this instance travels for a comparatively short distance because of its small weight-to-volume ratio.
